Yesterday I walked a mile and a half (each way!) and paid $5 for two cupcakes and a glass of milk from this adorable establishment, Sweet Mandy B's. It has, I can say with total confidence, the most delicious cupcakes in the world. Actually, the cupcakes are good, but it's the frosting that haunts my dreams. I got one carrot cake and one red velvet--which is to say, double the cream cheese frosting, please. I sat on the bench out front and ate the carrot cake one and drank the milk and brought the red velvet back for after dinner. It. Was. Glorious.But also, this post is about how pathetic I am when left to my own devices. The hubs skipped town to go run some absurd distance in some other city, and I stayed home alone. I watched disgusting amounts of HGTV and subsist on cupcakes and goldfish. I'm pretty damn lucky to have him around most of the time to be sure I don't die wearing my ugly sweatpants, surrounded by what appear to be the remnants of a first grader's birthday party.
I used to eat half of a baked sweet potato whenever Brian was out of town. Then I moved to Japan alone and realized that I could cook for one. Also, that sweet potatoes were not in season in summer.
ReplyDeletecream cheese frosting... a woman after my own heart. i'm pretty sure that if i was left to my own devices for a whole weekend I would just get a tub of the stuff and eat only that and taco bell for two days. and then get sick.
